World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Tbilisi. June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which aims to promote the rights of older people in all areas of society. One of the main challenges in Georgia is the lack of visibility of violence against older people.
The Public Defender has been talking about unchanging and systemic problems in this area for years, which are related to important issues such as identification of risk factors provoking violence and ill-treatment, inhuman and degrading treatment or other forms of violence, and production of comprehensive statistics, as well as adequate responses to the cases of abuse and effective oversight system.
